We are a private selective Oxbridge preparation school.
Our mission at UniAdmissions is to get every single one of the students we work with each year onto their chosen course at Oxford or Cambridge. Every student applying to study on our Programme goes through an initial assessment with our Admissions team. This is a 30-minute consultation (free of charge) where our team assesses your viability.
We accept students onto our exclusive Programmes based upon the following:
ACADEMIC PROFILE
Whether you have the right academic profile to be realistically considered by Oxford or Cambridge university.
WIDER PROFILE
Whether you have begun to demonstrate the kind of interest that is looked upon favourably by admissions tutors.
ATTITUDE
Whether you are approaching your application and admission to Oxbridge with the right mindset.
TIME COMMITMENT
Applying to Oxbridge takes a significant commitment – if a student cannot commit the time, we cannot work with them.

FAQs
Got some questions about the Oxbridge Classics Premium Programme? You might just find the answer here. If not, you can always reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help!
Which Admissions Test do I have to sit for Classics?
If you are applying for a three-year course at Cambridge you will have to do a 60-minute translation exercise, whereas if you are applying for a four-year course you will have to do a 20-minute language aptitude interview.
As for Oxford, four of the six courses require the Classics Admissions Test (there is no Admissions Test for Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, and Ancient and Modern History requires the HAT). Classics and English, Classics and Modern Languages, and Classics and Oriental Studies all require a second Admissions Test as well.
What Intensive Courses are included in this Programme?
With the Oxbridge Classics Programme, you will have a place reserved on the Personal Statement and Interview Intensive Courses.
Can I use my one-to-one tuition sessions to decide what written work to submit?
Yes! We would actually encourage you to do this, and your tutor will help you work on the pieces for you to submit.
What's the point of the post-session homework?
At the end of each of your sessions, your tutor will provide you with some homework to complete ahead of the next session. This allows you to guide the sessions by identifying your strengths and weaknesses, so the tutor can focus on them – much like a real supervision/tutorial at Oxbridge.
